A harrowing documentary about Britain’s race to be a nuclear power. Plus: spiky New Zealand drama After the Party. Here’s what to watch this evening

9pm, BBC TwoAn infuriating investigation into what is described in this documentary as “the longest-running scandal in British history”: the UK government’s nuclear testing in Australia and the South Pacific during the 1950s and 60s, and its severe impact on the health of service personnel and local people. “We were lab rats,” says one of the five veterans interviewed. Most harrowing is a graveyard at Woomera military base, which experienced an unexplained high number of stillbirths and infant deaths during the 50s. Hollie Richardson

A teacher and her student are the only people who can hear a constant humming sound. Plus: the semi-finals of The Great British Bake Off. Here’s what to watch this evening

9pm, BBC OneA curious new drama – from the producers of Normal People, The Favourite and Poor Things – that will have you guessing throughout and leave you with a phantom buzzing in your ears. Rebecca Hall is Claire, a teacher, wife and mother who one night notices a low-level humming noise that doesn’t go away. It’s not tinnitus and the doctors are stumped, which leaves Claire feeling isolated, exhausted and acting oddly towards her family. Some relief finally comes in the form of her student Kyle (Ollie West) confiding in her that he also hears “the Hum”. They team up to get to the bottom of it – but what and who will they find on the way? And will there be a logical explanation? Hollie Richardson
